JLG Estimating provides remote commercial MEP takeoff and bid estimating support for Jacksonville projects. Send the current plans, specifications, scope, and addenda, and identify which trades are included; the estimator can flag unclear or missing scope for review before quantities are finalized.
Request plan-based quantities or priced estimating support for your bid package. Fees for most Jacksonville commercial estimates fall between $150 and $1,000. Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours, scaled to the size and scope of the job. Start with the scope and fee guide and the drawing-revision checklist.
Remote commercial MEP estimating and quantity takeoff support for contractors bidding projects in Jacksonville. Start with the project address, requested trades, current drawings, specifications, schedules, bid instructions, and addenda.
JLG measures and organizes the agreed estimating scope from supplied project documents. JLG does not determine the permitting jurisdiction, design systems, certify code compliance, submit permits, or imply a local Jacksonville office or field team.
The City of Jacksonville says new commercial projects generally require site-clearing, building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits, with applications and required PDF documents submitted through JAXEPICS. Separately, the City's plan-review FAQ says that for a renovation, any MEP trade not being revised should be identified clearly on the plans because unclear work extent can lead to a request for more information. For estimating intake, distinguish revised trades from untouched scope only when the bid documents support that distinction. This renovation guidance is specific to the City process and is not a rule for every Duval County-area project.
| Context type | How to use it for estimating |
|---|---|
| State requirement | Use the parent Florida estimating hub for sourced statewide context; confirm the applicable edition for the project. |
| City / AHJ requirement | The cited Jacksonville material applies only when that authority and review path govern the project. Confirm the address and project type first. |
| Utility requirement | Do not assume a utility scope. Include it only when the bid documents or the responsible utility identify the interface. |
| General construction context | Treat market or project-type observations as intake context, not as code or permit requirements. |
Jurisdiction note: The cited sources describe City of Jacksonville commercial permit and plan-review procedures. Confirm the applicable authority and current project-specific requirements before relying on them.
Choose the trade scope that matches the bid package. JLG's estimating work is based on the supplied drawings, specifications, scope, and revisions; the project team remains responsible for design and code decisions.
Mechanical quantities with included and no-work scope called out.
Fixture, piping, and renovation scope from supplied plans.
Electrical takeoffs tied to the current trade scope.
Use a metro guide only when its jurisdiction-specific workflow matches the project address; otherwise return to the state hub.
Estimating is performed from the project information supplied by the contractor. A clear package helps keep scope, revisions, and assumptions visible through the takeoff; it does not transfer design or code responsibility to the estimator.
